'So how do I get to work using these ‘AI plants’?'įeel free to grab this model and explore the library.

While Halo was not the first implementation of behavior trees in video games, they were pretty darn successful in it and that’s one of the features that made their game stand out. Have you ever played Halo? Haven’t you ever noticed how the AI in Halo just feels like they actually know what they’re doing? Well, the key difference between a Finite State Machine (FSM) and a Behavior Tree is that while FSMs are centered around switching between states (which may contain a wide variety of actions within a single state), Behavior Trees are focused on switching between tasks that have been broken down into more understandable forms. 'But OniiCh_n, why not just use a Finite State Machine, or a Hierarchical FSM for a large system, instead?' Now you may be wondering (if you’ve ever been at all interested in AI design before) This is because behavior trees break down complicated tasks into smaller, more approachable ones, without worrying about how these small tasks are processed.

Want a snazzy system for creating convincing AI?Ī behavior tree is a model for AI that is known for being able to switch between a finite set of tasks in a modular fashion.
